Chapter 67: How Did You Meet Her?

~4 min read 639 words

In the hospital ward, Kong Yizhang walked in carrying a bag of fruit: "Yancheng, how are you feeling? Are you any better?"

Because of excessive blood loss, Fu Yancheng’s face was very pale: "I won't die."

Kong Yizhang placed the items on the bedside table: "If it weren't for Comrade Liu, you would have been in trouble this time. I met that girl earlier and passed the message to you."

Hearing him mention the young girl, Fu Yancheng couldn't help but think of the scene that day, and his thoughts drifted away.

Hearing the person standing beside him laugh, he looked up and met his brother’s probing, half-smiling gaze. He coughed lightly to cover it up: "How did you meet her?"

Kong Yizhang pulled over a stool and sat down: "Her father was injured while working at the construction site, and the commune health center has limited conditions..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Fu Yancheng: "Is it serious?"

Kong Yizhang grabbed a pear from the mesh bag and took a bite: "Hmm, I heard from Vice President Sun that it’s a comminuted fracture. After the surgery, he needs to rest well. As for the rest, I didn't have time to ask."

Kong Yizhang paused here, looked at Fu Yancheng, and said seriously: "When you get better, you really should thank her properly. After all, her father was injured and hospitalized before saving you. Under those circumstances, it’s very commendable that she was still willing to waste time helping you. And..."

Seeing him stop, Fu Yancheng asked: "And what?"

Kong Yizhang sighed: "To be safe, I had someone investigate her background..."

Then he told him everything he knew.

It had to be said that Kong Yizhang’s subordinates were truly capable; they even investigated her relationship with the Chen family, and even found out about the secret deal between the Chen family’s eldest daughter-in-law and the Liu family’s first branch.

Fu Yancheng’s face darkened: "That explains it."

Kong Yizhang didn't understand what he meant: "What did you say?"

Fu Yancheng didn't continue. For some reason, he inexplicably didn't want others to know about what happened in the cave that day; after all, it concerned a girl’s reputation.

Let Kong Yizhang think that the girl accidentally discovered and saved him and then offered help.

Kong Yizhang swallowed the last bite of the pear: "Should we notify your family about your injury?"

At that time, because the situation was urgent and the spy hidden in the team hadn't been caught, for Fu Yancheng’s safety, he wasn't sent to the military hospital.

Naturally, no one knew he was injured and hospitalized.

Fu Yancheng waved his hand: "No need, I can take care of myself."

Thinking that he was indeed only weak due to blood loss, he didn't insist: "Alright then, I’ll arrange for someone to bring you food every day."

Fu Yancheng glanced at the door: "How is the matter being handled?"

Kong Yizhang also looked at the door and deliberately lowered his voice: "The item has been retrieved, but it’s not yet certain who the mole is. I plan to go to Changping later."

Thinking of something: "I have already had my eldest brother contact Officer Yao. This matter will not pass through other hands. Just rest assured and recover."

Fu Yancheng nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Kong Yizhang rolled his eyes at him: "Being polite with your own brother, you’ve really grown up."

Suddenly, he smiled mysteriously and leaned close to Fu Yancheng: "By the way, I ran into your aunt a few days ago. Guess what I heard?"

Seeing his expression, Fu Yancheng knew it wasn't anything good. He knew this guy’s personality best: "If you want to say it, say it. If you don't want to, I won't force you." ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
